The WikiLeaks founder is to interview "key political players, thinkers and revolutionaries" as part of a 10-part TV series, according to a statement released on the website.

The statement does not include information about which channels the show may actually be broadcast on, or inwhich countries.

But, details aside, who would you like to see appear on Assange's ambitious new venture? Suggest your "iconoclasts" below the line. Here are a few suggestions of our own:

Tony Blair

The camera-friendly former prime minister has never knowingly turned down a good interview opportunity. Assange might use the exchange to chew over the Middle East, or penetrate the obscurities of Blair Inc.

Rupert Murdoch

As a fellow native Australian, Murdoch is sure to greet Assange like a long lost brother. Right?

Hillary Clinton

A conversation between Mr Cablegate and the US secretary of state would amount to little more than a 30-minute standoff. Which makes it a superb idea.

Sir David Frost

We imagine Assange has always wanted to turn the tables on Frost, the great interviewer himself. Was Frost too soft on Nixon? The WikiLeaks man would not shy from the tough questions.
